From left to right, STS-135 crew members Rex Walheim, Sandy Magnus, Doug Hurley, and Chris Ferguson wave to the crowds on July 8 as they head into the Astrovan, the vehicle that ferries astronauts from quarantine to the launch pad. Atlantis lifted off that day from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:29 a.m. ET.

The space shuttle Atlantis is seen climbing through the atmosphere from the window of a Shuttle Training Aircraft on July 8. The special plane was designed so shuttle pilots could feel what it's like to land an orbiter, which was designed to glide back to Earth.

Shannon Lucid—one of the first six women in NASA's astronaut corps—talks to fellow members of mission control at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, on July 12. Lucid was serving as the "voice" for communications between ground-based managers and flight controllers and the space-based astronauts during the STS-135 mission.

Secured to the International Space Station's robotic arm, astronaut Mike Fossum carries the Robotics Refueling Mission payload, part of a test for robotically refueling spacecraft, during a July 12 spacewalk. Although Fossum is part of the ISS crew, his spacewalk was the last one to be conducted while a shuttle was visiting the station
